The Centre for Pedagogical Innovation and Development (CPID) within the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS) supports staff development and scholarship, Peer Assisted Student Support (PASS), and Educational research in learning, teaching, and assessment.
Staff development and scholarship is underpinned by the following taught programmes offered by the centre: Master of Arts in Academic Practice, Postgraduate Diploma in Pedagogic and Academic Practice, Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice, and Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice in Higher Education.
Each academic year, CPID is responsible for implementing the Peer Assisted Student Support (PASS) programme. The purpose of the program is to train second-year students to be PASS Leaders who, after completing their training, support first-year students in their learning.
CPID is also in charge of managing multi-annual SATLE (Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement) funding. The funding is used to drive teaching and learning innovation and enhancement with a focus on three themes: Education for sustainable development, Digital transformation, and Academic integrity. The fund is used to support small-scale Learning Enhancement Projects (LEPs) and Communities of Practice (CoPs) in TUS related to these enhancement themes.
This Podcast Series has been developed by CPID Staff involved in teaching on the taught programmes, supporting the PASS initiative, and engaging in educational research. This series consists of nine podcasts. Four podcasts explore various educational concepts and topics taught on the various programmes, offered by the centre, with well-known Educational Academics and Experts. One podcast discusses the PASS programme. And the remaining podcasts focus on SATLE funded educational research projects.
This series has been funded by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, the Higher Education Authority, and the Centre for Pedagogical Innovation and Development.
